Agricultural life in central Utah centered on the irrigation of arid lands during the early 1920s, as seen in this survey of the San Rafael Swell area. Small Mormon settlements like Orangeville and Castle Dale are positioned along Cottonwood Creek, where a network of irrigation works including Ditch and Cut Ditch helped sustain local farming. The presence of the Ferron Mill and several family-named outfits, such as Peterson Ranch and Larson Ranch, underscores the self-sufficient ranching economy of the era.
